The 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Alpha A-Mount Telephoto Zoom Lens from Sony is designed for cropped ASP-C image sensors, and when used on these camera bodies its focal length becomes the 35mm equivalent of a 112.5-450mm telephoto zoom. This lens is constructed of 13 elements in 10 groups which combine to deliver sharp, clear photos throughout the zoom range. It has a minimum focusing distance of 4.9' and a front-end filter diameter of 55mm.

Its aperture varies depending on the focal length you choose, and will gradually increase from f/4.5 to f/5.6, or f/28 to 32, as the chosen focal length increases. It also has 7x circular aperture blades that work to produce smooth, out of focus background effects.

112.5-450mm (35mm Equivalent) 4x Optical Zoom Lens

Having been built for cropped image sensors, you can easily capture close-ups with this far-reaching zoom lens. Shoot with a wide range of focal lengths ranging from 112.5-450mm on cropped APS-C size cameras, without having to swap lenses.

Aperture Range: f/4.5-32

In addition to the changing focal lengths, the lens' aperture also increases from f/4.5 to 5.6 at the wide end, and f/28 to 32 at the narrow end.

For Alpha & Minolta Maxxum Series DSLRs

Designed with full-frame and APS-C sized sensors in mind, it is compatible with any of the Sony Alpha or Minolta Maxxum series DSLR cameras.

7x Circular Aperture Blades

Circular aperture blades produce smooth, rounded bokeh background effects when capturing spot-light sources in your pictures. Because the aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.

The Sony AF D 75-300mm lens has a very good sharpness and contrast. I like to photograph birds and I especially like to photograph my 10-years old daughter. She never liked that so this lens allows me to capture her very well whilst avoiding the usual annoyance. The result is pictures that are superb and natural looking.Another great feature of the lens is it's relatively light weight. I bought the lens for a good price and would recommend it not only for those on a budget but for all people.

I bought this lens with a discounted price as part of a promotional deal at B&H Photo. I was not really expecting much and just wanted a lens to take some snaps while hiking with my dog. It turns out the lens is better than I expected. The pictures for the most part look fine on my screen. The only issues I have found are some odd focusing, i.e. the lens seems through cycle through the whole focusing range while trying to lock focus. There is also some purple fringing under certain condiions, but I expected that. I know Sony makes a better lens in that zoom range but it is about 3 times more expensive. Overall, I would say, in my case, it is good value for the money and I am getting some good use of out it.

I had purchased a sony slr camera for my husband two years ago. We knew he needed a new lens for it - especially for close ups and action. This one does the trick! The close up is better and clearer than any we of our other lenses.

I have to say, the packaging was awesome. That was a huge concern to me, but since I couldn't find anything around here, I had to let it be shipped. If was wrapped over securely - which is awesome.

The package arrived quickly, the cost was perfect. Nothing negative to say on any of this. Thank you!

I got this lens as part of a B&H incentive when I purchased my Sony SLT A77. For the price I just couldn't pass it up! I wasn't expecting a lot considering how affordable it was so I was very surprised by it's excellent performance when I got to use it in the field! It's autofocus works very well and this is a fantastic telephoto for the money.

No image stabilazation, but if you use a tripod, it REALLY helps. Also, when I adjusted the distance I was to my subject, that helped too. Not as heavy as I thought it would be, which is nice, but I have wondered if quality in material is minimized slightly. Overall a very nice lens. Great for the price! I'll be using it a lot for low light performances.

I am honestly very pleased with this lens! coming from an enthusiast 16 year old whose been at it for 3 or so years now, I have never really taken a liking to zoom lenses, because of their small max apertures and lower overall image quality (less contrast, sharpness etc.) I got this used from B&H for taking pictures of my brother at a play, but I recently put it through its paces a a dusty, dirty, world cup downhill mountain bike race. I manual focused and didn't have IS because it was on my nex-3, but I got some great pictures! good job sony. Only thing I dock it for is the zoom ring attracts dust like a fly to a t urd, and the focus ring isn't as nice as some.

The 75-300 range is amazing, as beginner i´m satisfied couse this solve my problems and is cheap.

Howhever, this telephoto is cheap, so not expect too much of quality. Low contrast (small aperture) in low light conditions and the focus don´t work well at long focal distances.More work for Lightroom. :P

I use the lens with my sony alpha 330 and it works perfect.It's easy to connect and use. I wanted the lens to take beginners pictures about kite surf. It is just what I was looking for.Great for beginners photographers. It worths the price paid.

I use it mainly to take pictures of animals and the kids in the park. I find that it is good for action shots as well. Its versatile which is nice if you want to carry a limited amount of camera lens with you and have children in tow. My camera bag is small for that reason, therefore; that was why I bought this lens. Did I mention durable, the 4 year olds did not even cause damage to it; a feat in its self.

I have been using the lens for some wildlife photography and it has worked very well. Autofocus is fairly quick for my purposes and it seems to take great pictures even though I have not always used a tripod.

Love owning this telephoto lens to use along my SLR! The focal range is amazing, especially if taking sports action photo's, wildlife and scenery type shots.Highly recommend it to anyone who likes to get more up close and personal when out on a photo shoot. I loved using it to photograph my nephew playing football! Amazing shots!
